After Ma Chao chatted with Cui An for a while, Cui An also went to rest. He is sleepy and has to go to sleep, and Cui An usually thinks simply, so there is no problem of insomnia.

Seeing that Chen Zhi and Cui An had gone to rest one after another, Ma Chao felt that it was boring to be alone, so he walked out of the house and came to the courtyard. At this time, except for the guards in the house, everyone else should have slept. In fact, it can't be said that he is a subordinate, at least Ma Chao didn't treat them as a person. Except for a housekeeper sent by Cao Cao at the beginning, the others were those soldiers who followed Ma Chao from Dunhuang, and they were responsible for guarding the safety of the mansion.

Now that it is February of the first year of Zhongping, Ma Chaozhidao is not far from the day when the troubled times will begin. In fact, he prefers to live a peaceful life than the chaos in the world. There is a way to live in a peaceful day, but the troubled times can't stop it, and Ma Chao, as a person with some ability, he also has to work hard for his ideals in the troubled times.

He is not a saint, but he also does not want the world to be in the midst of war, and he does not want the people to be displaced, and the world is empty. Ma Chao has never experienced troubled times, but he also knows the great harm caused by the war.

He sighed, and at this moment, Ma Chao noticed that someone had jumped into the courtyard from the outer wall. He smiled, this is interesting, he has lived for so long, this is really the first time that someone dares to come in like this, but I don't know who Lu Dao is. He found the other party, but the other party obviously didn't notice him, and saw that the visitor entered a room where no one was there, and then there was no movement.

At this time, I heard the sound of someone knocking on the door, Ma Chao came to the door, and after the next person opened the door, he saw many people standing outside the door. As soon as the people outside the door saw Ma Chao, they hurriedly saluted, "We have to wake up the adults late at night because of official duties, and I hope that the adults Haihan!" ”

The outsider did not enter the house, but said directly to Ma Chao, it seems that this person knows Ma Chao, so even if there is something, he does not dare to be polite.

Ma Chao nodded, he looked a little familiar, as if he was Sima Fang's subordinate. Could it be that they are here to arrest the man who just entered the mansion? This thought flashed through Ma Chao's mind.

"You are Brother Jian's subordinate!"

"It's exactly under it!"

"Alright, you all come in!"

"No! Thank you, sir! ”

The people outside the door entered the house, and more than half of them followed him.

"Where are you here?"

"Back to my lord, I was arresting a rebel in the city, but unexpectedly, the rebel party ran into the adult's mansion, so I waited ......"

Ma Chao's eyebrows raised slightly when he heard the word chaotic party, but no one noticed this subtle action.

"Oh? Disrupted party? So the rebels ran into my house, did you see it with your own eyes? ”

"This ...... It was seen by someone under my subordinates, who said that the rebels disappeared when they ran near the adult's mansion, so they suspected ......"

"Suspect what? Do you suspect that the rebels have hid in my house, or do I harbor the rebels? Ma Chao's words are a bit heavy.

I heard someone hurriedly say: "I don't dare, it's just that the chaotic party is likely to have infiltrated the adult's mansion, so I'm waiting for this to enter the mansion to see the adult!" ”

The hearts of the people who come are aggrieved, if this chaotic party runs to an ordinary family, then they can just search without saying a word. But how could he have run to this person's mansion, what kind of person is this, that is the captain of the city gate, or the prince's husband, and the person who General He Jin admires, and even the person who is praised by His Majesty. When people thought of this, their heads were sweating. He was afraid that he would offend Ma Chao, and he would no longer have to mix in Luoyang.

"Since you think that the rebels have infiltrated my house, then you can search for it casually. But then again, first, I've been in the courtyard all the time, and I haven't seen anyone enter the house at all. Second, if you find the chaotic party in my house, then everything is easy to say, but if you don't find it, then I have to go to Lord Sima and talk about it, please! ”

"This ......"

The sweat on the head of the person who came was getting more and more, and he was hesitant in his heart. Indeed, as Ma Chao said, if you find it, everything is easy to say, but if you really don't find it, it will be troublesome. Search people's houses, if you don't do it yourself. Forget it, more is better than less, and don't do this thankless job. Even if you can't catch this mess tonight, at most you will go back and be told by your own adult, but if you don't find it after searching, then it is estimated that it will not be as simple as being said.

Thinking of this, he smiled at Ma Chao, "I also think that the adults are right, since the adults have not found anything abnormal, then I won't bother in the next!" ”

"Why don't you search for it? In case this chaotic party has infiltrated the mansion and I haven't noticed, in my opinion, it is better to search carefully! Ma Chao said very solemnly.

"No need, my subordinates have not seen whether the chaotic party has entered the mansion or not, and judging from the following, the chaotic party is likely to have fled elsewhere. I'm going to bother you a lot tonight, so I'm going to say goodbye! ”

Ma Chao didn't say anything after hearing this, just nodded.

"Let's go!"

The person who came greeted his subordinates and withdrew from the Ma Mansion, he didn't want to come here again for the rest of his life. He was deflated at Ma Chao's place tonight, and it can be said that he was in an unusually unhappy mood, but what can he do. In terms of official position, he is not as high as his family, and in terms of identity, no one has a status, so he can only leave helplessly.

In fact, this person's approach is not incomprehensible, and not everyone will really fulfill their duties. And Ma Chaoyue asked him to search the house, the more scared he became, afraid of what to do if he didn't find it. He didn't seek merit but no fault, so he had to quit and leave for his own benefit.

After everyone left, the subordinates closed the door, and Ma Chao himself couldn't tell what mood he was. Anyway, some of the efforts were not in vain, at least they sent people away. Originally, he had thought that if he came to arrest some criminal or something, then he would fully cooperate. But as a result, as soon as he heard the word chaotic party, the word yellow scarf popped up in Ma Chao's mind. Yes, the eight achievements of the chaotic party they want to arrest are people from Taiping Dao, if so, then I have to help tonight, as for whether it can be done, I just try my best anyway, so this is the previous scene.

Ma Chao came to the door of the empty house, pushed the door in, and as soon as he entered the house, he noticed that someone was attacking him. Ma Chao smiled, everything was in his expectations, this should have slashed at himself with a ring knife, but he retreated backwards and retreated directly into the courtyard.

"Come out, it's so dark inside!"

Although Ma Chao is also confident that he can win this person in the house, he does not like to fight in places that are too dark. As soon as the man in the house saw that he had missed the sword, and heard someone shouting to him in the courtyard, he immediately jumped out of the house and fell into the courtyard.

After he only glanced at Ma Chao, he moved his hand. As a result, before the ring head knife was cut a few times, he was ready to jump over the wall again to escape, but Ma Chao had expected it, so he naturally would not let him escape, and he was captured alive by Ma Chao in less than twenty rounds. The subordinate brought a rope and tied him up, he wanted to run, but he was restrained by Ma Chao. The heart said, why is this person so strong, and the last can only be tied up obediently.

Bringing this person to the living room, Ma Chao sat down and asked him, "Aren't you going to say something to me?" ”

I saw this person turn his head to the side and didn't look at Ma Chao. That means there's no way to ask me anything.

Ma Chao smiled when he saw it, and said in his heart that you are like this, thinking that I can't help it?

"Just now someone said that they were arresting the rebels, it should be you!"

This person still didn't react, Ma Chao continued: "If you don't say that I also know the Tao, you are a person from the Taiping Dao!" ”

This person still didn't react, Ma Chaoxin said, if I don't give you some fierce medicine, I really won't be able to cure you.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky!"

As soon as these sixteen words came out, this person looked at Ma Chao in surprise, "You ......"

I just wanted to say how do you know the way, but I reacted, and when it was over, I was still exposed. However, I was really surprised in my heart, these sixteen words can only be understood by myself, and they are all people who have a certain status in the Taiping Dao. How did such a young man know the Tao, could it be said that he was also ...... It's impossible, if it's your own people, it's impossible for you not to know the Dao, and how can anyone treat his own people like this, so how does he know the Dao?

"You must be wondering how I know this. I tell you, I know more about your peace than this! ”

This person looked incredulous after hearing this, but Ma Chao didn't care about this, "It's okay if you don't speak, and I'm not interested in knowing what to say from your mouth." If you want to leave, then I'll let you go! ”

"You want to let me go?"

Only then did this person open his mouth to talk to Ma Chao, Ma Chao nodded, "Yes, my husband is full of words, I said that if I let you go, I will definitely let you go." But looking at the current situation, the whole city is arresting you, so even if you are released, where else can you go? ”

When this person heard this, he lowered his head, and he really couldn't run out of Luoyang City. Originally, he hid well in Luoyang City, but who knew that the imperial court sent someone to arrest him. He thought about it, it should be impossible for him to expose anything, could it be said that he was a traitor? Or is there a traitor? He felt that it was not a pity for him to die, but he must inform the great sage and good teacher of the matter, and as a result, he was chased all the way to escape, ran here, and jumped over the wall into Ma Chao's mansion in a panic.

Originally, when he hid in the house and heard the knock of the pursuers, he thought that he was doomed. They are all ready to fight to the death as long as they are discovered, but who knows that Lu Daofeng turned around, and the last pursuer was actually sent away by the owner of the mansion. But as soon as he relaxed, he was attacked by the owner of the mansion again, and was finally captured alive. was arrested, only to understand that the dare lover family had already seen himself, and his kung fu was not at a level, where to run.

This person heard that Ma Chao wanted to let himself go, but if he let himself go, he couldn't run out of Luoyang, so he had nothing to do.

"So, if I let you go, you won't be able to get out of Luoyang City. Only if you follow me, can you leave Luoyang! ”
